Beware of Poor Running Form: Get to Know Your Runners Gait by Dr. Matt Silver

Workshops and Gait Analyses are something we love putting on at Alpha Project Phyzio & Performance! A question you may have is,” why do we put on workshops” and” What is a gait assessment/analyses?”. Those are all great questions. The short answer is to give you, the runner, a level of knowledge of how to take care of yourself on your own! This is something we love doing and is a great opportunity for you, to learn valuable skills to continue running well into your 60’s, 70’s, and older!

Most notably, the Engineered Seamless Mesh upper has removed most of the stitches that can rub hot spots.
